You have fallen in love my dear heart
You have fallen in love my dear heart
Congratulations!
You have freed yourself from all attachments
Congratulations!
You have given up both worlds to be on your own
the whole creation praises your solitude
Congratulations!
Your disbelief has turned into belief
your bitterness, into sweetness
Congratulations!
You have now entered into Love’s fire, my pure heart
Congratulations!
Inside the Sufi’s heart there is always a feast
dear heart, you are celebrating
Congratulations!
My heart, I have seen how your tears turned into a sea
now every wave keeps saying
Congratulations!
O silent lover, seeker of the higher planes,
may the Beloved always be with you
Congratulations!
You have struggled hard, may you grow wings and fly
Congratulations!
Keep slient my dear heart, you have done so well
Congratulations!
– Ghazal (Ode) 623

[...] Rumi You have fallen in love my dear heart 2 hours [...]
When Majnun wanted to write a letter to Laila, he took a pen in his hand and wrote:
Your name is on my tongue, Your image is within my sight, Your memory fills my heart, Where, then, can I write?
Your image dwells in my sight,
Your name never leaves my tongue,
Your memory occupies the depths of my soul, so where am I to write, see-ing that You are here in all these places?
The pen broke, and the page was torn.
(Discourse 44, FI HI MA FIHI Discourses of Rumi)
The phenomenon of love still awaits a better expression than that of Rumi: Purely drenched in the ecstasy of giving up of self, soaked in the liberation that his belonging brings, Rumi stays The enviable lover of the Beloved.
